They Carry Battle to Territory Germans Hold TEUTONS BITTERLY CONTESTING GAINS Haig Lets Loose Veritable In ferno of Artillery Fire Before Dash. last week Field Marshal Haig's men again wore striking in Flanders and the force of their blow like those that preceded it, met with good results on a front of nearly six miles. Notwithstanding the necessity of carrying the battle to Crown Prin *e Rupprecht across uninviting grounds, virtually a morass owing to recent rains, and against the inevitable concrete and steel redoubts and woods and shell craters teeming with rapid fire guns?-the English, Scotch, and Australian troops have snatched valuable vantage points from the Germans but not without terrific opposition. ? The battle at last accounts was still raging with the greatly reinforced Germans, who had anticipated the new thrust, fighting with unusual bitter ness to hold back further British advances or to recapture terrain already wrested from them. Point of Attack, Haig's new thiust was delivered from the base of front line positions captured and consolidated last week, before which the Germans held numerous vantage points of strateg'c value, barring the way to further inroads by the British or for harassing the British line by machine gun and .rifle fire. As on previous occasions Haig loos **<i a veritable mierno 01 artillery lire against the Germans before launching bis attack in the early hours of Wednesday morning and when night fed many important positions had been riddled of the enemy, but with tin Germans at numerous other points savagely contesting the right of way Probably the most significant gain of the British, which the Germans assert was to a depth of two-thirds of a mile at certain points, was near Zoniiebe.ke, to within a few hundred yards el tlm western outskirts of which v lage they penetrated, placing them about six miles from the railway iunning from Ostond through Rou1 r.nd Roubaix to Lille. The cutt'ng > this line, which seems to be the objective of Fi< Id Marshal Haig, woii'-' seriously affert the transport of th' Germans from their naval bases a' Oster.d and Zeabrugge to the south. Ostend Shelled. Prior to the land attack British na val forcse heavily shelled Ostend ami again Wednesday aftesnoon they repeated the bombardment. Meanwhile naval airplanes dropped bombs on towns in Northern Belgium with visibly effective results. On the other fronts, except in the Champagne and Verdun sectors of the line in France, no hostilities of greal importance are in progress. Befor* Verdun the big guns again are roar ing in a mighty duel, evidently th< forerunner of further big infantry op erations. In Champagne the Frencl are heavily shelling the positions o the German crown prince with th German artiMerie# answering ther energetically.

This method is being used in out school for the first time this year. There is a little manual for each grade, but in order to lay a proper foundation for muscular movement writing, we think it wise to use Manual No. 1 for first, second, and third grades, and Manual No. 4 for all grades above the third. As soon as pupils have mastered the work in these manuals and have gained some degree of muscular control, let then1. 'Iilunn/'n int~ fUn nnvf li ! nrlm^ monnnl.!
